I have no idea how this happens. Both that piece and the wiper arm are stripped. With rain being a constant issue in Chattanooga I need to get this fixed ASAP.

Anyone willing to help me out with what part/parts I need to get to fix this? I was under the impression that it was the motor, but have since been informed that there is only one motor and since the passenger side works fine, I guess its the linkage? I'd like to order or have on hand whatever I need to fix this before I take it apart.

I'm not sure moving the passenger wiper to the driver side will help since the other part will still be stripped. I've done a little research and I'd like to confirm that the part I need is the "wiper transmission linkage"? Unfortunatly on ebay they run around 100 plus the wiper arm. Need to find a parts car and pull one hopefully its not to hard to install. Has anyone done one of these before?

You'll need the the 'wiper transmission' assembly.. Get one from a junk yard.. Should be cheap. and they are easy to install. The hardest part is of the nuts that hold the pivot points in place are rusty, sometimes instead of loosening off they just spin the bolts that they are holding, and the bolts are embedded in plastic.. You'll see when you take yours apart.

I think you just need a new wiper arm. It looks like the metal from the wiper arm is caked onto the splines of the shaft. You should be able to clean up the shaft with a pick to get the splines clean.

Turns out you were right! After I already had swapped out the shaft I realized you could just scrap out the shavings and put on a new arm. I didn't realize how much softer of material the arm is, oh well you live and learn. Got it fixed now and working again.
